Great idea. It MUST be done.

For sure that would help my grandpa, he's got an older computer, running
Ubuntu 8.10 still, and he gets frustrated when things don't open right
away... He then ends up opening 8 copies of firefox or some .odt file. I
think some sort of pulsing icon would be the most recognizable thing for
him
to understand that "the program/file is loading, please wait a minute."
As a side note, when I travel home for Christmas, he's getting a nice new
computer with 11.10, so I hope that's not an issue any more for him, but
I'm
sure there are plenty others out there in a similar boat.

On aging or low-end computers, most applications take several seconds to
start. In many cases (in particular when opening a file from nautilus
or the
dash), there is no notification of the pending operation, which is
confusing
and frustrating.
A solution might rely only on bettering the existing notification
mechanisms (wait cursor / pulsing launcher icon).
But Unity could have a more consistent and clear start-up notification
system that would be triggered independdently of how an application is
started (whether directly from the launcher, on opening a file, or from
another application).
Any other questions on this matter ?
Plans, ideas ?
